A Morven Park Engagement | Cooper & Alexis | Leesburg, VA
It's so odd posting photos of a snowy engagement when I currently have the windows open enjoying this beautiful June evening! However, Cooper and Lexi tie the knot NEXT WEEK, so I figured I should get these photos up before then! đ I was so thankful that in the...
Peter and Mikala’s Sky Meadows Engagement Session
My friendship with Peter and Mikala began when Peter moved into the empty desk next to me at work. I wasn't sure how we would get along as office mates, but any worries I had instantly vaporized when he started talking about Mikala. The way he would talk about her,...
Levi and Mindy’s Georgetown Waterfront Engagement Session
As I’m sitting here looking at the snow outside my window, I can’t believe we were enjoying weather last week sunny enough to allow Mindy to wear a sleeveless dress for her engagement photos. Virginia has some crazy weather patterns, but I’m so glad the sunshine part of the weather pattern graced us for Levi and Mindy’s Georgetown Waterfront engagement session!
Meridian and Chris’s Morven Park Engagement Session
Meridian and Chris were such a blast to photograph, and this engagement session only fueled my excitement for their upcoming wedding in June (which should be much, much warmer than this session đ ).
Aaron and Elisabeth’s Red Rock Engagement
I peered inside the old building and saw a beautiful, ivy-covered wallâbut about a 4.5 foot drop to get in and a floor covered in thick branches. I turned around and started arranging Aaron and Elisabeth outside instead. After a few shots, Elizabeth said, "Don't you...
Chris and Georgia’s Blandy Experimental Farm Proposal
It's always when you get the text, "We're here!" that your heart REALLY starts pounding at a proposal session! Even though Chris and I had planned out exactly where he would kneel down and where I would be hiding, I was worried that Georgia would look straight through...
Chaz and Hallie’s Harpers Ferry Engagement Session
Driving through the back roads of Virginia put me in the perfect mood for a sunset engagement shoot! The golden sunshine splashed across the mountains and historic building in Harpers Ferry just begged to be the backdrop to an engagement session. So we obliged...
John and Mackenzi’s National Portrait Gallery Engagement Session in DC
I simply adore the way these two look at each other. When I told John and Mackenzi at the beginning of the engagement session to have fun and âgenerally be in love with each other,â they grinned and said it wouldnât be a problem at all. True to their word, the entire...
Steven and Jackie’s Engagement at The Cliffs Hotel and Spa
My palms were sweaty as I peered through the balcony openings. Elya, Allison, and I watched our phones excitedly as Steven's GPS indicated they were getting closer to the resort. The moment I saw Steven and Jackie pass the engagement location, I signaled to the girls...
Mike and Mallory’s Mary Livingston Ripley Gardens DC Engagement
I have loved watching Mallory talk about Mike ever since they started dating. Whenever she mentions his name, her smile widens and her eyes light up. She always has kind, supporting things to say about him and is not shy about sharing those thoughts aloud! I know that...
